MITCHELL, [Silas] Weir. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. Philadelphia, March 26, [1902]. Two-page letter on two integral leaves of stationery bearing Mitchell’s printed address and black mourning borders, with each leaf measuring 8 x 5”. Light soil to one page, else fine. Another letter to Dr. Lewis William Atlee. Mitchell regretfully informs him that neither he nor Dr. Evans will be able to sign the nomination recommending him for a fellowship, stating that they, “being censors, & therefore members of the Council,” cannot legally sign. Mitchell suggests that Dr. Atlee instead ask Dr. Wharton to nominate him and states that he will write Dr. Wharton on his behalf.
